The Dodgers are clinging onto a share of first place (thanks to a string of well-timed losses from the Giants), while the Diamondbacks are quickly closing the gap (now 3.5 GB). So tonight's question is, what sort of impact will the self-pleasuring Kirk Gibson Bobblehead Figure have on tonight's game?

Will it be a talisman for the team that made Gibson immortal, commemorating the time when improbable impossibilities became realities? Or will it be an inspiration for the team that Gibson currently helms? Stay tuned, true believers!

Classy Gibby. Stepped out in front of dugout ad doffed his cap to much applause. At his request Mitch Poole threw out the first pitch. Trivia fans note that Poole was the bat boy who ran back to get Gibby before his famous at bat.
